Velocity-Based Training (VBT) Hub
Velocity-Based Training (VBT) prescribes load and volume from real-time bar velocity instead of fixed percentages. This hub gathers PoinT GO's end-to-end VBT library: velocity zones, load-velocity profiling, autoregulation, 1RM estimation, and applied protocols for squat, bench, deadlift, and Olympic lifts.
